• Shape the future of our data platform-build, test, deploy, and maintain production-ready pipelines
  
  

Responsibilities

• Architect, develop, and operate robust data extraction and automation pipelines in production
• Integrate, deploy, and scale ML models within those pipelines (real-time inference and batch scoring)

• Establishing and enforcing CI/CD pipelines on Azure DevOps (build, test, deploy, rollback) with automated quality gates
• Writing and maintaining comprehensive test suites (unit, integration, load) using pytest and coverage tools
• Optimize data quality, reliability, and performance through monitoring, alerting (CloudWatch, Prometheus/Grafana), and automated remediation
• Define-and continuously improve-platform standards, coding guidelines, and operational runbooks
• Conduct code reviews, pair programming sessions, and provide technical mentorship
• Partner with data scientists, ML engineers, and product teams to translate requirements into scalable solutions, meet SLAs, and ensure smooth hand-offs
  

Technical Requirements

• 4-8 years' hands-on experience in data engineering, with proven track record on critical projects
• Expert in Python for building extraction libraries, RESTful APIs, and automation scripts
• Deep AWS expertise: EKS/ECS, Lambda, S3, RDS/DynamoDB, IAM, CloudWatch, and Terraform
• Containerization and orchestration: Docker (mandatory) and Kubernetes (advanced)
• Proficient with task queues and orchestration frameworks: Celery, Redis, Airflow
• Demonstrable experience deploying ML models at scale (SageMaker, ECS/Lambda endpoints)
• Strong CI/CD background on Azure DevOps; skilled in pipeline authoring, testing, and rollback strategies
• Advanced testing practices: unit, integration, and load testing; high coverage enforcement
• Solid SQL and NoSQL database skills (PostgreSQL, MongoDB) and data modeling expertise
• Familiarity with monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack)
• Excellent debugging, performance-tuning, and automation capabilities
• Openness to evaluate and adopt emerging tools, languages, and frameworks
  
  

Good To Have

• Master's or Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
• Prior contributions to open-source projects, GitHub repos, or technical publications
• Experience with infrastructure as code beyond Terraform (e.g., CloudFormation, Pulumi)
• Familiarity with GenAI model integration (calling LLM or embedding APIs)
